Women in combat

How will the Military decide what the standard for physical fitness will be? Well
the Marine Corps this summer will round up 800 Marines --400 male and 400 females.
They will run, jump, climb, do push-ups and pull ups and other exercises. The
Marines will look at the outcomes and decide what kind of expectations they should
have for women and men to qualify for combat roles. The Army has its own different
process for deciding.
